Microsoft Platform for developers in India.
India born American business executive and the current CEO of Microsoft Satya Nadella on a one day visit to India met Prime minister Modi and other cabinet ministers and discussed how Microsoft’s contribution to the government’s Digital India initiative can be enhanced.
He said that developers and the enterpreneurs from the country are playing a key role in driving innovation both inside and outside the country and the company wants a platform for creators in India. He added that it is a “privilege” to be “a platform underneath this Indian success”.
“Our mission is to empower every person and organisation on the planet to achieve more. It’s not about celebrating our technologies. It’s about celebrating technologies that you all in India create. In fact, I want us to be the platform creators that foster ingenuity of what is happening in India,” he said.
He quoted the poet Mirza Ghalib’s famous lines, “Hazaaron khwahishen aisi ke har khwahish pe dam nikle, Bahut niklay mere armaan, lekin phir bhi kam nikle” and encouraged youngsters in the audience to be bold and ambitious. “I learn something new… there are so many layers there… My interpretation of that is… it’s not just your dreams being fulfilled, it is your ability to dream that is worth dying for. It is a source of inspiration,” he said.
